I've only spent a short time with Gettysburg: Armored Warfare thus far, but I've gotta say I'm pretty disappointed. I'm not even running into crash bugs that others are reporting[Nevermind, yes I am] as I tool around in the offline practice mode, but I'm seeing plenty of others. The big one is that it feels strangely laggy even when playing locally, and my shots rarely seem to actually connect with their targets. I took control of an advanced Union minigunner, closed to point-blank range, and held down the fire button for a solid 10 seconds before I was able to bring down a 19th-century cavalry unit. What?

Viewed from afar, Gettysburg Armored Warfare looks a little like a
Total War game set during the American Civil War, with hundreds of
blue and gray soldiers marching toward each other in formation as
artillery explodes all around them, sending bodies (and pieces

things that aren't quite historically accurate start to stand out --
